George prefers his history accurate, animals obscure, and costumes ornate. He has a wide streak of humor, a deep love of family, and a strong affinity for purple. He also has Tourette syndrome (primary: gross motor) and OCD. At the start of fourth grade we began exploring his love of learning at home. This website serves as an occasional showcase of what we cover. Thoughtful recommendations and reflections welcome.

The Week in Phonophotos

This week in homeschool history: Johnny Clem and taking a stand for what you believe in, no matter your age

Field Trip! To Old Salem for Saturday with Saint Nicholas, in which we learned about how Christmas was celebrated by children in Salem in the early 1800s. George also learned about the history of the actual man who was Saint Nicholas.

Here George concentrates on a literature project, in which he had to make his own list of 101 of something; he chose to make his list nutcrackers he would like to have. This is an activity he did after reading (and very much enjoying) 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents.
